He was born on the [[Islands of Lobu]] in the [[Sapphire Sea]],{{book ref|tress|15}} into a family who took the cultural idea of the Hunt very seriously, and when he came of age, he decided to choose trading as his hunt.{{book ref|tress|40}} Thus, he began looking for trades with those he comes across, and records them to send back to his family to be hung in their family hall.{{book ref|tress|40}}
In his youth, he primarily communicated through sign language and reading lips.{{book ref|tress|15}} This was until some point where he met an unknown worldhopper, and traded for a piece of [[Nalthis|Nalthian]] technology that could let him read what others were saying, and write out what he wants to say. This helped him immensely in his ability to communicate and properly interpret what others were saying.{{book ref|tress|15}}
Over his time travelling the seas of Lumar, he managed to cross ten, all but the [[Crimson Sea|Crimson]] and [[Midnight Sea]], due to them being too dangerous to risk crossing.{{book ref|tress|23}}
At some point, he became a member of the Crow's Song. After [[Weev]] died, he became the cook, despite his poor cooking ability, as he was simply the best cook on board.{{book ref|tress|15}}{{book ref|tress|37}}
When [[Hoid]] became a member of the Crow's Song, after he was bought off the [[Whistleblow]] due to his curse from the [[Sorceress]], he grew fond of him and began giving him food before everyone else, despite Crow not ordering him to.{{book ref|tress|37}}
He was on the ship during the sinking of the [[Oot's Dream]], and was confused by it along with the rest of the crew, knowing that they should have been harmless, meant to merely hold the ship in place. He examined every cannonball he knew of in the cannon and armory, and found none with defective fuses.{{book ref|tress|14}} This left him very confused and worried about what had happened, and how Crow had acted about it.{{book ref|tress|14}}
When [[Tress]] came aboard the Crow's Song, he immediately began to show her kindness, giving her food despite Crow informing him not to. He always made sure to give her and Hoid food before the rest of the crew.{{book ref|tress|15}}{{book ref|tress|37}} He at first did not consider this done out of kindness, but considered it a trade for a future favour.{{book ref|tress|15}}
Over time, he grew close with Tress and developed a bond of mutual trust. They would eventually team up, alongside Ann and Salay, for a mutiny against Crow due to disagreements over her desire to turn the crew into [[Deadrunners]].{{book ref|tress|49}}
Seeing him outside, Tress and [[Charlie]] used a board in the Sorceress' Tower to engage in a video conference with Fort. Where she ordered Ann, Selay, and Fort to come into the tower, bringing Hoid along in order to break his curse.{{book ref|tress|62}} A task they accepted without opposition, fighting through the spores and metal soldiers to make their way into the tower.{{book ref|tress|63}}{{book ref|tress|64}}
He helped Tress after she fell down from her aonic chains, and when the Sorceress refused to leave, he and Salay pulled their pistols on herm threatening to fire.{{book ref|tress|64}} This, along with the threat of Hoid's new [[AonDor]] powers, led her to flee.{{book ref|tress|64}}
With the Sorceress gone, they all returned to the Crow's Song, and he rolled out some alcohol he had been saving for such an occasion.{{book ref|tress|64}}
